The chocolate War - Summarizer

The beginning of chapter 20 is based on a scene that happened earlier in the book. When the Goober unscrewed Brother Jacques’ room, the room broke down in the beginning of the chapter. Archie was satisfied with himself and felt triumph but the other students were not convinced. Then, at a different setting, a kid by the name of Kevin Chartier had gone to half a dozen houses to sell the chocolates but had sold only one box to his aunt, who had diabetes. So he called up one of his friends. His friend, Danny, hadn’t had any luck either. The two talked about how Jerry was doing well to annoy Brother Leon. How Jerry was rebelling against the school, the spirit of Trinity. The chocolate sales were not going well, obviously. The kids either did not have the spirit or just could not sell the chocolates. So Brother Leon complained about the sale to Archie, who was also very mad. But little did they know that something would happen to the sales. Then came the discussion between Jerry and Archie. It was a very long chat. Archie tried to tempt Jerry to selling the chocolates. But Jerry would not listen. He will continue declining the chocolate sale. A day after that, a junior by the name of Frankie Rollo was called to a chat with Archie. Archie asked for his name because it was ritual to call for the name but Rollo thought this was kind of joke and got all smart about it. And the two got into a big argument about it and Carter, Archie’s bodyguard, punched Rollo in the face and Rollo fell flat. He was ignored then because the bell rang. When Jerry came back from football practice, in his apartment, he got a call. But when he said hello, no one was there. He repeated. And then a small chuckle came out of the phone. Jerry was scared. But suddenly hung up. Later that night, he got the same call, but his father picked up. The same thing happened to his father but he regarded it has some sort of joke. But Jerry was not so sure. The next day at school, Jerry opened his locker and the locked was trashed. Everything lying in the wrong place, marks on the locker wall. Hours later, something miraculous happened to the chocolate sale. The numbers went up and Brother Leon was delighted. They had sold fifteen thousand and only needed five thousand left to sell before the sale was completed.
